Author: Qurrat ul Ain Abidiy
The life of Imam Hasan (as) was both eventful and full of
lessons, and yet the significance of his role seems to have been ignored,
forgotten, or eclipsed by the extent of focus on Imam Husayn (as).
A common misconception is that he was just a peace-maker,
yet nothing could be further from the truth. For Imam Hasan (as) was
overwhelmingly and popularly appointed as Caliph due to his charisma, knowledge
and eminent piety. Then he led the Islamic Caliphate for six months with
authority and control, and he prepared his army, leading it to war against
Muawiya and exhorting it to be brave and unflinching.
Moreover, the author demonstrates, with exacting scholarship
using authentic sources and the motherbooks of history, how there would have
been no Karbala without the groundwork laid by Imam Hasan (as). The book also
has great value as a manual of instruction on how one should obey the Imam of
one’s time, in war and in peace .Thus making it an excellent way of preparing
for the emergence of the Twelfth Imam (ajtf).
